Fitness to practise/professional competence is receiving
increasing attention in the medical profession and in
medical education.
There are conceptual and practical limits to the
employment of methods of selecting medical students
which aim to maximize prefessional competence.
Professional judgment is a necessary and legitimate
component of all assessment areas in medicine.
The assessment of professional attitudes and behaviour
requires professional judgment, but is no less objective

Teaching Resource Title: No model of clinical education for physiotherapy students is superior to another: a systematic review

Brief description:

Which models of undergraduate/entry-level clinical education are being used internationally in allied health disciplines?
What is the effect and, from the perspective of stakeholders, what are the advantages, disadvantages, and recommendations
for successful implementation of different models of undergraduate/entry-level clinical education?

Investigation of an increased student to supervisor ratio placement which also explores clinical education outcomes. The study indicated that the increased student to supervisor ratio decreased reliance on clinical educator due to peer mentoring and was thus less burdensome for the supervisor/clinical educator. However satisfaction for the clinical educator/supervisor was less due to potentially reliance on traditional forms of clinical education. The study indicated that more flexible peer assisted learning strategies may need to be implemented to increase user satisfaction.

Teaching Resource Title: Is there a Plan B?: Clinical Educators supporting underperforming students in practice settings

Brief description:

The relationship between supervisors and students in work-based clinical settings
is complex, but critical to the appropriate development of the learner. This study
investigated the experiences of physiotherapy clinical educators of working with
underperforming students, and specifically explored educational strategies used
with this subgroup of learners.

This study had two main aims:
to make explicit some of the thinking
involved in allied health clinical
reasoning and then to reframe this
thinking so it is easier for clinical
educators to teach and assess and for
students to master.
